• THE PIGEON IN AN ELF HAT – A teal bird in a green elf hat, one enormous eye fixed on a sleigh it has no business driving, which is the whole reason the scene works on a shelf.

• A WHOLE HOLIDAY SCENE – The red sleigh with its yellow trim sits on black runners on a built snow base, so the finished piece reads as a scene rather than a figure standing on its own.

• AN AFTERNOON OF BUILDING – An involved, satisfying build with considerably more to it than the small character sets, and enough going on to fill a quiet afternoon properly.

• SIZED FOR A MANTEL – The finished scene stands 10.4 in. (26.4 cm) high and 9.7 in. (24.7 cm) wide, which puts it in mantel and console table territory rather than shelf-edge territory.

• OFFICIALLY LICENSED MO WILLEMS – An officially licensed Mo Willems set, so the shape of that eye and the tilt of the beak match the character instead of approximating a bird.

• COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR COLLECTION – 345 bricks and pieces combine with all other Brickcraft building sets and are compatible with other leading brick building brands.

• COMES BACK OUT EVERY DECEMBER – Packed away in January and back on the mantel next year, which is what earns a seasonal piece its storage space instead of a single outing.

• GIFT FOR A PICTURE BOOK HOUSE – Made for ages 8 and up, so it suits the parent who has read that book out loud a hundred times and the kid who still shouts the answer at the page.
